Massively reduce how much time it takes to manage your current parking sales channels & painlessly scale with new ones.
About us
Ocra is for operators, by former operators. Before we were Ocra, we parked cars around the LA Coliseum for the stadium's many events. We experienced firsthand the challenges of staffing attendants, setting rates, managing inventory, and preventing slippage – plus all of the operational problems involved in using multiple sales channels. So, we built our centralized management platform – one single place for parking operators to log in to do all of their tasks. We massively reduce the amount of time it takes them to manage their current sales channels and we make it painless to scale with new ones so that they can sell more spots for higher yield. The outcome is that for the same amount of time and work it takes to log into one single seller console, operators can widely distribute all of their available inventory across multiple channels to sell their spaces for what they’re worth – no more static allocation across channels, and no more racing to the bottom with rates! We believe that a rising tide raises all ships, which is why it’s our mission to create connectivity between operators and their technology partners and orchestrate the open flow of data within the industry.

Incredible time capsule pic – – a 1970's snapshot of parking lot near the Standard Oil Building in Chicago, now known as the Aon Center! We love this photo because a few members of our team have roots in Chicago (including our CEO, Ethan, & our Director of Ops, Meagan). Like the City of Chicago has evolved, so has its parking. It's really neat to see blast-from-the-past parking infrastructure and note how it has evolved to shape how people experience living & working in a major city.

One from the archives today! Our 2022 rebrand marked our transformation from Park Place, an event parking business using aggregators to drive demand for the area around the LA Coliseum... ... to Ocra, a B2B SaaS platform for operators & asset owners to centrally manage rates, inventory, blackouts, and reporting across aggregators/demand channels to the outcome of higher revenues and NOI. Why "Ocra"? We're named after our first feature: "One Click Rate Adjustment"! Why purple? Outside of being big proponents of purple in general (truly an underrated color), we discovered through brand research that red and blue are frequently employed colors in parking for operators and tech vendors. By choosing purple, we mean to reinforce our position as a "superconnector" who is building the API layer that integrates and amplifies the value these companies provide to their customers and to each other. And now we're out here saving the whales! ('Cause "Ocra" looks like "Orca"... get it? 🐋 ) Looking back on the blog: https://lnkd.in/erkiT-e9 #parkingtechnology #parking #parkingoperations #parkingindustry

To use a favorite word of our CEO & Co-Founder, Ethan, these revenue outcomes that our valued partner, MCR Hotels, has seen by leveraging Ocra's software and parking online revenue management services to sell extra parking inventory to non-guest customers are simply "tremendous". Here are the highlights: 1️⃣ In August 2022, MCR pilots Ocra’s software suite for parking demand channel management at 3 hotels. 2️⃣ Within 6 months, MCR and Ocra expand software partnership to 20+ hotels. 3️⃣ In March 2023, MCR activates Ocra CoPilot at 3 existing locations to layer more sophisticated, data-driven approach to yield management. 4️⃣ As a result, MCR generates an additional $3.4m in annual parking revenue and $2.5m in incremental NOI. 5️⃣ Today, Ocra's software & managed services is live at 20+ MCR locations Get the full story: https://lnkd.in/esXXi5nh And if you're ready for a convo, you can reach Ethan & the rest of the team here: info@getocra.com! #parking #parkingindustry #hotelparking #hoteltechnology #parkingtechnology #revenuemanagement
